    I think the first CH I saw was a test tractor that was in service with Petroleum Carriers of Grafton Mass. this was in 1987. Truck was painted in PC's burgundy color. PC was an outfit that kept a super clean Mack fleet. Not sure when they finally went out of business or if someone (JPN?) bought them out.

    Hmnn-don't believe that truck ever reached production. Wasn't the 527 a low cab over? Competition for 6000 Whites, Mack MB's, Ford C models. I would call this thing in the dyn o picture a hi-tilt-looks more like a Mack G ??

    THAT WOULD BE MY VOTE

    To add to MackMB's story, in 1967 I was working at my company's Buffalo operation and we were a supplier to Beth Steels Lackawanna plant. Huge facility. first time I went in there I could not believe all the relatively new big iron running around the facility-and most of these trucks in spite of their relatively new age, did NOT have piece of sheet metal that was not banged up! My memory says the truck of choice at that plant was GMC--JH's?? In any case rough environment.

    Matt,Mike Thx- Watts has nothing-same for Iowa 80, and Berube. I think if I'm going to do anything, its fgoing to be with a piece of chrome/stainless exhaust pipe and the cap stays black. I do have a length of chrome pipe but the OD is wrong I guess if I want to do anything I'm going to have to fabricate a black collar that won't be too conspicuous. Bob

    Not the best shots but hopefully this will give you an idea-might have some better pix-see if I can find them. Again these are the extension type- there is a plate that goes on top of them and then the 3-hole tow hooks attach. So a B with these brackets ends up with a bumper that is about 8" in front of the rad shell.

    Yeah- snow ball chance in hell but anyone have any ideas??

    Joe D- I'm afraid you are right. Kevin Flaherty is/was the last of the old "big dog" names I would recognize. Good luck to him in his retirement. It has to be tough for a guy like that to finish his career with an upper management with roots far different from his. I've said it before-only a matter of time before some Swede says..."think of all the money we can save if we eliminate this duplicate sales administrative organization we call "Mack"? After all, we design everything, engineer everything blah blah."

    This is going to look very nice on July 13th-maybe down by the pond??

    To say nothing of the fact that if you put a square horn on it, you will have to start wearing a flat brim baseball hat that is two sizes two big so it covers the top of your ears and start driving with air out of your seat so you can barely see over the dash! Actually could be worse-you could be asking about a quad locomotive horn!

    Read another article (Navistar press release??) a few days ago that said they had basically turned the corner. Had a lot of their warranty costs cleaned up and sales were on a positive rebound. Hope so-hate to see one of our last American builders go down the tubes.
